I also had a similar experience when helping a friend upgrade to
Mandrake 10.
With 9.2, he was happily dual booting with Windows 95 (98?).
After upgrading to 10.0, selecting the "windows" option produces
a black screen with a blinking cursor.
However, if I go to BIOS and tell it to boot off of the Windows drive
first, Windows boots fine and appears to be undisturbed.
I believe he tried switched to grub and got the same result.
Is there any way to make lilo or grub boot Windows again? It's on a
second drive all by itself.
